The graph at: https://stats.dnssec-tools.org/images/totalds.svg
does not look like a downward spiral to me.

But I also don't agree with Paul that one needs to be an expert to play
the game.  Tools are improving, and spinning up working DNSSEC with Knot,
BIND 9.16+, ... is increasingly easier.

Where things get more complex is in API integration with cloud providers,
bugs in the provider implementation that's recent and not fully baked, ...

These too will likely improved, but there will occasionally be issues when
some new managed service is introduced and users struggle to consume it,
and have complex unanticipated requirements.
